The Making of a Gentleman (2010)
The Making of a Gentleman
“He was angry at the sudden silence.
He had been sitting in his brother’s library, staring out the French doors into the garden, when the music began. He liked the garden—the fresh air and open space. He often worked there, planting shrubs or flowers, but today he simply stared, pretending he was out of the city. Free of the confines of these walls. Free of the confines of his mind. He had to concentrate to keep images from spilling into that mind.
At first the music had been quiet, and ...he thought it came from a neighboring home. But gradually the sound grew in volume, and as it did, Armand was on his feet, moving out of the library and into the vestibule.
He had to find that sound—either to make it stop or to make sure it continued. He stood in the center of the black-and-white marble and tried to picture all of the rooms in the home. He was picturing the instrument that made the sound and trying to remember if he had seen that instrument in the house.MoreLess
